Description

The concept of massage therapy using stones has been practiced in different cultures for many years. Tribal Healers and Village wise women used rocks from the riverbeds and warmed them either in hot coals or hot water. By then placing the hot stones on cloth on the body and arranging them along the energy points of the body, this would help to relax the muscles and reduce pain or discomfort, and therefore support the healing process. This in-depth course will lead you step-by-step through the treatment sequence and teach you everything you need to know in order to become a successful Hot Stone Massage therapist.
